We would like to welcome you to Seascape our little box by the sea!

Seascape is situated in Mudeford at Sandhills Park, a small but perfectly appointed holiday home site that has everything within easy reach to make your holiday a breeze!

After parking your car in the private car park 15 yards away and unpacking, you can start exploring.

Seascape comes equipped with a large fridge freezer so there is plenty of room for your provisions, which you can pick up on your way from nearby Christchurch should you wish. You will find Waitrose, Sainsburys, Lidl and Aldi in the supermarket department. A TK Maxx and a Matalan for any last minute t-shirts or jumpers and a Wickes for anything else!! There is also a small shop on site and a launderette.

Seascape has two bedrooms (a double and a twin), shower etc open plan living, dining, kitchen area and decking that enjoys sunshine all morning and welcome shade in the afternoon. The decking has a lockable gate and from the corner you can see The Needles and the sea.
The kitchen area has plenty of storage, comes well equipped and has washing up liquid and a new sponge and a scourer provided. All bed linen is professionally laundered and each guest has their own bath and hand towel.

We do ask that you bring your own beach/pool towels.

The TV has an integral DVD player and Freeview.

The bedrooms have wardrobe storage and the master has plenty of room for a travel cot.

Sandhills has a very pleasant lounge bar where you can purchase light snacks and drinks. There is a small games room and live entertainment at weekends.

The outdoor heated swimming pool and toddler pool is a hop, skip and a jump from the caravan and has changing facilities. There is also a small gym which you are welcome to use and outside play area.

There are so many places to eat you will be spoiled for choice! To the left along the beach is the Noisy Lobster and beach side takeaway. A seaside shop which holds an artisan bakery and ice cream kiosk. A little further up amongst the beach huts is a super little café too. Turning right to the end of the quay you will find The Haven pub, which is very reasonable and doubles up as a café during the day. You will also find all the usual fast food outlets in Christchurch.

The beach is a flat 50 metre walk away…close enough to nip to in the morning to test the weather and watch the glorious sunrise over the Isle of Wight, something I thoroughly recommend. With the constant changing of the tides there is a different seascape to welcome you every day. Equally, don't miss the stunning sunsets over Christchurch Priory from the harbour… two of my favourite things to do. You will find paddle boarders, kayakers and swimmers whatever the season and photographers catching the sunset.

The Quay at Mudeford is bustling with families catching crabs and the ferry across to the beautiful Hengistbury Head. A trip well worth taking. Pretty beach huts, a lovely restaurant, soft sand and the most wonderful views will give you a day to remember. You can catch a further ferry onwards to Tuckton gardens where you can walk into Christchurch to visit the Priory and explore the shops.

There are many lovely places to visit and things to do… A couple of miles walk along Avon beach to the left is Highcliffe Castle once home to Mr Selfridge.

Bournemouth for beaches, shopping and entertainment. Poole for the historic Quay and its famous Poole Pottery. Lymington is well worth a visit if only to see the boats in the harbour or to catch the IOW ferry for a day trip. The New Forest with its famous ponies, quaint villages and wonderful scenery.

Equally you may wish to just stay close to Seascape …lock the car and BREATHE!

We hope you find everything in Seascape to make you comfortable and that you have a happy and enjoyable visit.

We love our little holiday home and ask you to treat it kindly and come back again!

The Beach House is a spacious corner house, enviably situated a stone’s throw from Avon Beach and enjoys sea breezes and lovely views of the sea, particularly from the master bedroom.

It was extensively remodelled some years ago and at that time, so we were told, featured in a national glossy magazine as an “inspiring house by the sea”.

The Beach House has been well maintained and used as a holiday home by the current owners and can now be very comfortably enjoyed by up to 6 individuals.

Downstairs comprises a large kitchen/diner, utility room, living room, reading room, study and downstairs cloakroom/shower room.

Upstairs comprises, 3 bedrooms, 2 of which have king size beds and en-suite shower rooms and the third has 2 single beds. There is also a family bathroom which could be for the sole use of the twin bedroom if needed. The master bedroom has a balcony on which is a small table and 2 chairs which is a lovely place to sit with a coffee or glass or wine to enjoy the sea view and watch the world go by.

There are three TVs at the property: one in the kitchen/diner, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom. The first two are Virgin Cable TVs. The TV lounge also has a CD player. There is also free Wi-Fi throughout the property.

The Beach House has a well laid out private garden to the rear, ideal for outside living, with quality Bridgeman dining table and 6 chairs, 2 sun-loungers, a small sofa and 2 armchairs. In addition, there is a small pretty garden to the front.

The garage can be found to the rear of the property and has space for the storage of water sport equipment, bikes etc.

There is parking for at least 2 cars, possibly 4 depending on vehicle size. Parking is in front of the garage where with care two smaller cars can park alongside each other, or one car comfortably. There is also parking for another car (possibly two if the first car reverses as far back as the bin store), in the drive immediately to the side of the house.

Well behaved dogs are welcome by prior arrangement. Owners should bring their own bowls, bedding and towels for their dogs as we believe pooches like the familiarity of home smells.

We regret that the Beach House is not suitable for hen parties, stag dos or other riotous gatherings as we would not wish to upset the tranquillity of the area for our neighbours.

Smoking is not allowed in The Beach House.

- "The Beach House is a lovely home for staying near Mudeford or Christchurch. This is lovely and spacious, with multiple reception rooms; as we were a family of five plus dog it meant we could all come together or have our own space when it was needed. The dining table and kitchen set up or also plenty big enough for cooking and entertaining. The wraparound garden is fenced in and gated at different points, along with multiple access doors from the house. Mudeford itself has a nice long beach to walk along, and there are various pubs and restaurants in the area. Whether it be a simple roast at the Nelson, or we went for a lovely birthday meal at The Jetty."

As soon as you enter this waterfront apartment, you are immediately drawn to the calming tidal waters of Mudeford Harbour and the panoramic views to the Isle of Wight and Needles. Casting your eyes over the lovely garden where you can relax with a book or just soak up the summer sun, you realise you are a stone’s throw from the water. On the horizon is the dramatic headland known as Hengistbury Head, once owned by Harry Selfridge. This is an outstanding site for wildlife and archaeology, free of cars, which offers beautiful beaches and the Mudeford sand spit with its quirky café, famous beach huts and the popular transport links of the Noddy train and ferry.

As you look to your right you see Stanpit Marsh, a 160 acre nature reserve home to many endangered plants and an ornithologist's dream. In the evening you often hear the calming bird chorus!

‘The View’ offers two double bedrooms, one with a super king bed. We pride ourselves on your sleep being as relaxing as the fabulous sunrises and sunsets that ‘The View’ offers, as you sink into the luxurious mattresses and feel the warm hug of the famous 5* Intercontinental duvets, pillows and linen.

On cooler days, why not recline on the sofa and chairs on the glass fronted balcony, where you can soak up the sun. If you prefer to be indoors then gaze at the view through the patio doors whilst benefiting from the ergonomically friendly chairs and sofa.

At the end of the day, cooking up a hearty dinner is easy in the well equipped kitchen and the centrepiece table that amply seats 6 is perfect for a social evening of board games, cheese and wine or just chilling.

This is the most idyllic location and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

The Property:

Heathfield - This luxury appointed property is based on Sandhills Holiday Park in Mudeford, as soon as you enter, you have a feeling of space and luxury. The décor is stylish and the lodge is equipped to a very high standard. It even includes an inbuilt surround system which can be attached via Bluetooth to your phone.

In the kitchen there is a full size fridge and freezer, a washing machine/dryer and a dishwasher along with a full size cooker and separate microwave.

The lodge has two bedrooms, the master with a double bed and ensuite shower room and the second bedroom has two good size single beds. There is a second family shower room. Both bedrooms have TV's installed with HDMI leads and there is a large smart TV in the lounge.

The property is set on the second row back from the front, facing the Isle of Wight – it has a large decking area with patio table and chairs and the sea can be seen from either side of the decking.

There is a private car parking space alongside the lodge which makes it easy for unloading/loading and heading out for day trips.

About the Local area:

Just outside Sandhills Holiday Park is a promenade giving access to the beautiful Avon beach - take a stroll along to your left and you will come to the Noisy Lobster restaurant and shop where you can purchase fresh bread from the bakery and a morning paper. The shop also sells gifts and a selection of clothing. There is a coffee hut and fish and chips takeaway as well. If you walk to your right, you are just a short walk from the historic Mudeford Quay where in 1784 smugglers skirmished with Customs and Excise officers.

It is still a working quay today with fishing boats venturing out most days so why not say hello to Pete on boat Deja Vu (SU21) and see how his day has been, or wave to him from your decking as he heads back from another successful day out. If you fancy testing your skills out and bringing the catch home yourself, pleasure fishing trips are available directly from the quay, or we can help you organise in advance. There are many pleasure trips to be had or if you fancy a thrill then why not hang on to your seats on the Bay Blast rib ride.

The Quay is also famous for its crabbing from the quayside (crabbers quay!) and has a children's play park, fish stall, cafe, The Haven House Inn and a large green area which is perfect for picnics, ball games and kite flying. You can catch the ferry to Hengistbury Head directly from the Quay and visit its fantastic beaches and beach huts.

Christchurch harbour is a great place for water sports from windsurfing to sailing and the Highcliffe sailing club is based on the Quay. There is also an active RNLI lifeboat station which practices launching weekly so you are almost bound to see their rather unusual lifeboat launch and recovery system in action!

If walking or bird watching is your thing then you can do both without even getting in the car. Within an easy stroll you will find a nature reserve on the cliff top adjacent to Highcliffe Castle. If you fancy a little longer out, then why not try the circular walk through Stanpit Marshes and on to Christchurch for a spot of lunch. Then take the Tuckton ferry from outside the Captains Club to cross the river or walk over Tuckton bridge a little further on if the ferry is not running, and head across more picturesque marshes to the back of Hengistbury Head. From there you can skirt the inside shoreline, head up and over the top or use the beach as your route back to the beach huts and ferry home at the tip of the Head. Who knows, the Haven House Inn may tempt you with a thirst quencher before heading back to the luxuries of the chalet.

If you head out in the car then the walks available to you are endless with The New Forest on your doorstep and The Purbecks within easy reach. Easily missed and of particular note is the area around Keyhaven and Lymington and, in particular, the sea wall walk past the now disused salt works and the spit and Hurst Castle, which in itself is worth entry but make sure you have a few hours to spare.

Historically sailing and fishing are all part of the local heritage with such famous local sailing clubs as Christchurch and Lymington to hand. More recently wind and kite surfing have become extremely popular along with kayaking and paddle boarding. Don't worry if you have never tried any of these or do not have any equipment as Shore Sports base themselves in the harbour and are more than happy to help out.

You can catch the ferry to Mudeford Spit & Hengistbury Head directly from the Quay and visit its fantastic beaches and beach huts.

Garden was huge with a lovely patio area and plenty of seating. Only comment for awareness for others with younger children/people who may not be quite so steady on their feet…stairs are a little narrow/steep and split in two directions at top so just need to take care. But we loved our stay and would highly recommend!"

Captain's Lodge

This is a fully equipped lodge with double glazing and gas central heating. It is spacious, light with high ceilings. Vertical blinds are installed to cut out glare and help to keep the interior cool on very sunny days. The single bedroom is particularly roomy and is equipped with two 3 ft beds and a walk-in wardrobe and storage. The wrap-around decking has a table, 4 folding chairs (with cushions), a parasol and is more than ample for four people. The steps leading up to the decking are ‘low rise' making them easier to navigate for anyone with limited mobility.

Mudeford

Mudeford is so well situated in Dorset and I have always thought how lucky we are to have two rivers – the Avon and the Stour – and the historic New Forest (a national park). Sandhills has small gates that open directly onto the promenade that links Mudeford Quay with Avon Beach. To the left is Avon Beach with the Noisy Lobster and a lovely beach. To the right is a short walk to Mudeford Quay, Haven House Inn and Café, Local Fish Stall and Ferry.

Name of the lodge links to my son's previous career as a Captain with P & 0 Cruise Line. He is now owner of the Mudeford Ferry which takes you across to the Mudeford Beach where you can explore the famous Hengistbury Head and nature reserve. On a sunny day, see if you can find the path that runs beside the lily pond! One of my favourite walks on the Head.

Christchurch

From the Mudeford Beach pontoon you can also take the River Ferry up to Tuckton Bridge towards the historic town of Christchurch. Lots to explore there from the Priory, river-side walks, shops and the many tea rooms. Christchurch is also only a couple of miles away by car.

Further afield there is the New Forest with little villages such as Lymington, Burley, Brockenhurst and many more. I have lived in this area most of my life and I still find new roads I have not been down before. From Lymington you can take a ferry to Yarmouth and have a day out on the Isle of Wight, either as a foot passenger or take the car.

Bournemouth and Poole

A few more miles beyond Christchurch are the largest towns in the area, full of shops, gardens and beaches. Beyond these towns there is the rest of Dorset to explore with its little villages and lovely countryside.

Bournemouth lies to the east of the county and offers seven miles of blue flag beaches. It is near the market town of Christchurch with its 11th century Priory Church, ruined castle and Saxon mill, and the stunning medieval New Forest. The area caters for diverse interests, the popular buzzing beach resort in Bournemouth with its vibrant nightlife; the gentler pursuits of walking, wildlife and bird-watching in the nature reserves and national parks, and along the 20 miles of Bournemouth Coast footpath; and active pursuits such as cycling, sailing, rowing, canoeing, windsurfing, kite-surfing and sea kayaking. Popular also for touring, Southampton, the Isle of Wight, Salisbury and Stonehenge are all within reasonable travelling distance. Dorset features some excellent museums, with world leading centres at Bovington (The Tank Museum, telling the history of military vehicles), and the Russell Cotes Museum and Art Gallery in Bournemouth. Other museums include the Dorset County Museum in Dorchester, The Red House in Christchurch, the Royal Signals Museum at Blandford, and the award winning Brewers Quay in Weymouth. Many smaller towns have their own local museums.

The Property:

The Shed is named somewhat tongue in cheek by the owners' family as it is about as far from a shed as you can get. Whether sitting out on the decking with its clear view glass balustrade or in the comfort of the lounge you have stunning views across Avon Beach and the Solent to the Isle of Wight and The Needles; there is always something to watch at any time of year. When you talk about a property one of the most important factors is location. New for 2015, the chalet has it all from its prime sea front position to its proximity to such places as the beautiful New Forest, Bournemouth, Lymington and Christchurch. There is so much to do right on your doorstep or within a very short drive.

The Shed is fully equipped to a high standard with all you need to make your stay one of comfort and luxury. There is a dishwasher "so no arguments over the washing up!", separate fridge and freezer, microwave and extra touches like a built in coffee maker, Bose Sounddock and TVs in both bedrooms. You have private parking adjacent to the chalet so you do not have to haul your luggage and shopping far.

The Shed is based within the boutique Sandhills Holiday Park. With its historic main house and leafy grounds the whole ambience is one of relaxing in the country but with the sights and sounds of the sea. The park facilities are available to all guests and include an adventure playground, family bar with Sky TV, heated outdoor pool, small gymnasium, pool table, launderette and mini mart store. Additionally there is free WiFi in the lounge and bar areas.
About the Local area:
Christchurch was a renowned smuggling town and 'The Shed' is just a short walk from the historic Mudeford Quay where in 1784 smugglers skirmished with Customs and Excise officers. So kids bring those cutlasses, eye patches and skull and crossbones, oh and a parrot if you have one!

It is still a working quay today with fishing boats venturing out most days so why not say hello to Pete on boat Deja Vu (SU21) and see how his day has been, or wave to him from your decking as he heads back from another successful day out. If you fancy testing your skills out and bringing the catch home yourself pleasure fishing trips are available directly from the quay, or we can help you organise in advance. There are many pleasure trips to be had or if you fancy a thrill then why not hang on to your seats on the Bay Blast rib ride.

The Quay is also famous for its crabbing from the quayside (crabbers quay!) and has a children's play park, fish stall, cafe, The Haven House Inn and a large green area which is perfect for picnics, ball games and kite flying. You can catch the ferry to Hengistbury Head directly from the Quay and visit its fantastic beaches and beach huts.

Christchurch harbour is a great place for watersports from windsurfing to sailing and the Highcliffe sailing club is based on the Quay. There is also an active RNLI lifeboat station which practices launching weekly so you are almost bound to see their rather unusual lifeboat launch and recovery system in action!

If walking or bird watching is your thing then you can do both without even getting in the car. Within an easy stroll you will find a nature reserve on the cliff top adjacent to Highcliffe Castle. If you fancy a little longer out then why not try the circular walk through Stanpit Marshes and on to Christchurch for a spot of lunch. Then take the Tuckton ferry from outside the Captains Club to cross the river, or walk over Tuckton bridge a little further on if the ferry is not running, and head across more picturesque marshes to the back of Hengistbury Head. From there you can skirt the inside shoreline, head up and over the top or use the beach as your route back to the beach huts and ferry home at the tip of the Head. Who knows, the Haven House Inn may tempt you with a thirst quencher before heading back to the luxuries of the chalet.

Down at Avon beach, there is a café/restaurant, the Noisy Lobster, and kiosks serving fish and chips, coffee and ice cream. There is a shop selling anything from local/national papers to clothes and holiday souvenirs and even a bakery on site.

If you head out in the car then the walks available to you are endless with The New Forest on your doorstep and The Purbecks within easy reach. Easily missed and of particular note is the area around Keyhaven and Lymington and, in particular, the sea wall walk past the now disused salt works and the spit and Hurst Castle, which in itself is worth entry but make sure you have a few hours to spare.

Historically sailing and fishing are all part of the local heritage with such famous local sailing clubs as Christchurch and Lymington to hand. More recently wind and kite surfing have become extremely popular along with kayaking and paddle boarding. Don't worry if you have never tried any of these or do not have any equipment as Shore Sports base themselves in the harbour and are more than happy to help out.

About the area in general:
